title: [Rupture of the amphiarthrosis of the pelvic girdle].
abstract: So-called over-bridging tension band fixations are presented with special respect to their surgical procedures, development to technique, operative approaches, experimental findings gathered from 83 human pelves explanted post-mortally and clinical results. PDS band fixation has shown to guarantee approximately the same stability as comparable procedures offering in any case an immediate ease of bedside care and the possibility of physical exercise in bed. A slight postoperative elongation of the PDS band is sometimes seen on the X-ray as a small step in the outlines of the symphysis, but so far has been of no importance in our cases of treatment.
